Oh yes, I heard of food with gold in it. Stuff like that really should be illegal in my opinion. That, or if you really want to do it, at least donade double the price to charity.

That's the cheapest available used car in a cheap European country. I'm sure that gets to much higher prices in the US.
The .main point is that prices for used cars more than quadrupled in just a few years.
So, Gaddafi gave money to Sarcozy so he'd be elected. Then Sarcozy attacked Libya to take out Gaddafi.
That sounds like bad investment. I know they say you should only invest what you're willing to lose, didn't think that could include your own life.
Somehow they believe this will increase their user base...
We need gzip encoding factors. That way with a single chromosome we'll be able to store all required information. Just take DNA, transcribe it to gzRNA, decode it to mRNA and pipe it to the ribosomes. My setup can do all this in just one elegant line of code and transcription factors.
Textbooks on any subject are easily retrievable for free. You could previously go to a library, but the internet makes it much easier to retrieve that kind of information.
I live in Spain, having light at 11 pm is pretty cool.
Car prices increased terribly. Back a few years you could get a working used car for 400€, I'm now being told there's nothing to be found for less than 2,000€.
Why not just free psychological assistance? I don't think like a forced test is a good way to fix issues. It's not like the psychologist comes, fixes your brain and then you're all good.
People need to want to improve their life, the psychologist assists in that process.
Te technology Is not really designed to prevent that, it is designed to be decentralised. Now, email is decentralised but everyone uses Gmail.
Imagine Reddit closes and everyone from there flocks into lemmy. Will small instances stand the influx? Will single maintainers with a small server allow 10 million new users in their instance? Most likely not, either they will limit subscriptions or they'll close down.
As such the most likely thing to happen is that someone with money opens a big instance which can host all those people. And there, you got Reddit exactly as it was.
On the first part, do not worry; I understand the perspective. I just meant to show how a degree may not be as relevant as other things with my personal experience.
If you want information regarding Spain, feel free to text me. I'm new in Lemmy and never had private messages, but I guess I should get a notification and figure it out.
We clearly misunderstood each other, I did not mean to say in the majority of jobs you need a degree. I was initially just pointing out there is a significant amount of careers in which a degree is in fact required. We do indeed agree on all points as far as I can see.
Now, regarding this supposed privatisation of job opportunities. I am very much aware of the problems with student debt in the US. It is something extremely sad. What is unclear to me is why would this be a privatisation?
I'd rather imagine this leads to further division in social classes i.e. rich people who can afford degrees can access more "palatable" jobs. But I say this without really knowing much of how jobs work now in the US. I'd imagine this would lead to only a small percentage of the US population having a degree, but as far as I can see over 50% of US population has one. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_education_attainment)
As such I can imagine in the US as well the degree would be treated as something cheap and common. I'd imagine this would lead to many jobs in many sectors favouring people with a degree over people who do not have one. As such I can imagine that paying for education in the US could probably lead to better job opportunities. This would be regardless the fact that a degree is required for a certain job or not. It is unclear to me whether people who had to take debt for a degree and get an unspecialised job are able to pay back the debt.
Now, it is a bit sad to talk about degrees and education only under the aspect of job seeking. A degree is a wonderful way to learn things and improve ones thinking skills. Free education is amazing because of this: we all benefit from everyone around being more informed and able to improve things. Widespread education does significantly improve the lives of everyone in a country, regardless of the fact that what one studies is actually useful for a job or not.
The blackout lasted almost 24 hours where I live. But I live far away from France. I know places near France did recover in a few hours.
